Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that reduces blood pressure and increases renal blood flow. This double-blind investigation evaluated the effect of nifedipine in postpartum patients with severe preeclampsia. Thirty-one patients were randomized to receive either nifedipine (10 mg) or placebo every 4 hours beginning immediately after delivery. Data analysis revealed a significantly higher urine output in the nifedipine group during the first 24 hours after delivery (3834 versus 2057 ml; p < 0.05). A significant reduction in mean arterial pressure was also noted in the nifedipine group between 18 and 24 hours postpartum (93.9 versus 100.2 mm Hg; p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the systolic or diastolic blood pressures, pulse, laboratory study results, or the need to administer hydralazine to control blood pressure. Nifedipine appears to have a beneficial effect on urinary output and mean arterial pressure during the first 24 hours post partum in patients with severe preeclampsia.
